Executive Branch:
Chief of State: BundesprÃ¤sident (Federal President) d
Head of State: Bundeskanzler/Bundeskanzlerin (Federal Chancellor) d
elections: The Federal President is elected for a six-year term by a Federal Convention including all members of the Federal Assembly and an equal number of delegates elected by the state parliaments; election last held 23 May 2300 (next to be held 23 May 2306); the Federal Chancellor is elected by an absolute majority of the Federal Assembly for a four-year term; election last held 22 September 2302 (next to be held September 2306).

Legislative Branch: bicameral Parliament or parlament consists of the lower house known as the Federal Assembly or Bundestag and the upper house known as the Federal Council or Bundesrat.
Bundesrat (Federal Council): 603 seats; elected by popular vote under a system combining direct and proportional representation; a party must win 5% of the national vote or three direct mandates to gain representation; members serve four-year terms
Bundestag (Federal Assembly): 69 votes; state and colonial governments are directly represented by votes; each has 3 to 6 votes depending on population and are required to vote as a block.
elections: Federal Assembly elections where last held 22 September 2302 (next to be held in September 2306); note - there are no elections for the Bundesrat, itâ€™s composition is determined by the composition of the state and colonial-level governments, thus the composition of the Bundesrat has the potential to change any time one of the states holds an election
election results: Federal Assembly - percent of vote by party - SPD 00%, CDU/CSU 00%, FDP 00%, PDS 00%; Federal Council - current composition - NA

Judicial Branch: Federal Constitutional Court or Bundesverfassungsgericht (half the judges are elected by the Bundestag and half by the Bundesrat).

Major Political Parties: The following Political parties have acquired the needed percentage of 5% of the vote to assume seats in the German Federal Parliament. The CSU was the primary political party of the Free State of Bavaria and itâ€™s allied German states, and still retains much of itâ€™s political pull among former Bavarian Colonial Parliaments, and is one of the three political parties that has created the current governing coalition in the German Federal Republic (commonly referred to as the CDU-DP-CSU Coalition).

Christian Democratic Union (Christlich Demokratische Union: CDU): The Christian Democratic Union is currently the most powerful of the pan-German political parties since it had maintained â€˜branchesâ€™ in all of the pre-unification German States save Bavaria and to a limited extent the other German states within itâ€™s Defense Alliance. The CDU has worked hard to remain pan-German in itâ€™s scope and goals, while devoted to the ideals of a unified Germany, the CDU was more concerned with how to govern a reunified Germany (something that the German Party failed to do). The CDU is the leading member of the current governing coalition in the German Federal Parliament.
Christian Social Union (Christlich-Soziale Union: CSU): The Christian Social Union was the most powerful of the Bavarian Political Parties, and still holds positions of power and influence all throughout the former Bavarian Colonial Holdings, and makes up one of the three political parties that formed the current governing coalitions in the Federal Parliament with the fragmentation of the German Party. The CSU has devoted itself to the new pan-German Federal Republic since it has realized just how much more power they can acquire and how much more influence they possess.
German Party (Deutsche Partei: DP): The German Party was the leading force behind the unification of the German states and the establishment of the German Federal Republic. Unfortunately, itâ€™s political influence had always been devoted to the reestablishment of a unified Federal Government that would bring the German states together once more and was not able to successfully govern the new German Federal Republic once it had been established. Despite the fracturing it has suffered since itâ€™s greatest success, the German Party remains a powerful influence in German politics on both the local and federal level.
German Centre Party (Deutsche Zentrumspartei: DZ): The German Centre Party acts as a moderating voice within the German Federal Parliament, but with the outbreak of the Kaefer Wars the DZ thankfully has not been forced to act as mediators between the various political factions during the various debates on what course of actions to take.
Social Democratic Party (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands: SPD): The Social Democratic Party is a left-of-centre party that has repeatedly attempted to limit the size, growth and scope of the German Federal Armed Forces despite all appearances of possible French Aggression against the young unified German Federal Republic. With the onset of the Kaefer Wars the SPD has received a major blow to its political power and influence, but somehow was able to retain many of its parliamentary seats during the last elections.
German Democratic Union (Deutsche Demokratische Union: DDU): The German Democratic Union is a left-of-centre party that has recently become dedicated to the adoption of resolutions for each the Federal Colonies to become Federal States in a manner like that of the Federal Colonies located in the Neubayern System. The DDU has gained the support of the DP and CDU, but has received only minor support form the CSU towards this goal. The DDU has supported the current build-up of the German Federal Armed Forces and has pushed harder for relief missions up the European Arm to provide aide and assistance for German Colonial Citizens, due to the DDUâ€™s support the German Federal Government sold three of the older Bavarian Elector-class Colony ships to the German Red Cross for conversion into Relief and Medical Vessels for this purpose.

Minor Political Parties: These Political Parties have yet to acquire the needed percentage of 5% of the vote to assume any seats in the German Federal Parliament, but may hold parliamentary seats in the various Federal States, Federal Colonies, Federal Dependencies or Federal Territories.
Free Democratic Party (Freie Demokratische Partei: FDP): The Free Democratic Party
German Communist Party (Deutsche Kommunistische Partei: DKP): The German Communist Party is the most minor of the fringe political parties in the German states, and barely gets 0.5% of the popular vote during national elections. The DKP only remains popular among academic elitists whom feel that communism still is a viable form of government.
Green Party (GrÃ¼ne Partei: GP): The Green Party is one of the more minor and fringe political parties of in the German states. The Green Party learned over the centuries that itâ€™s interests are best served by leading by example in working to keep the environment of the Earth and itâ€™s colonies clean.
German Freedom Party (Deutsche Freiheits-Partei: DFP): The German Freedom Party is one of the more popular fringe political groups since it is the most popular and strongest political party on the German colonies located on the planet Dunkelheim. The prime platform of the German Freedom Party is a relaxation of various laws and regulations that restrict personal freedoms and this platform has become extremely popular amongst the German people and has been adopted to some extent by the other major political parties. It has been projected that the DFP will break the 5% barrier in the next national elections and be granted seats in the German Federal Parliament.
German National People's Party (Deutsch-Nationale Volkspartei: DNVP): The German National Peopleâ€™s Party is a fringe group made up of various ethnic Germans whom live in German â€˜Enclavesâ€™ established on other nations and their colonies that have been pushing for the elevation of the Special Administrative Districts they live in to be redesignated as full-fledged colonial pocessessions. The growth of the wing of the German National Peoples Party to instead establish their enclaves as being Free and Hanseatic Cities has been growing rapidly since this would allow the envclaves to be incorporated into the German Federal Republic as fully acredited federal states.
National Democratic Party (Nationale Demokratische Partei: NDP): The National Democratic Party is a small political group
Free Social Union (Frei-Soziale Union: FSU): The Free Social Union
Liberal German Worker's Party (Freiheitliche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei: FAP): The Liberal German Workerâ€™s Party
Party of Democratic Socialism (Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus: PDS): The Party of Democratic Socialism was once the main political party of the former German Democratic Republic during the late-20th Century, and survived the intervening centuries among the German states that had been part of the former East German Communist Republic. The PDS remains dedicated to the Socialist Ideals, but has abandoned much of the Communist Dogma that had held control over it during itâ€™s adoption in the 20th Century. The PDS still remains a fringe political party, but has at times been powerful enough to hold sway over the affairs of the activities of the pre-unification Defense Alliance led by the Electorate of Brandenburg.

Bundeskolonie (Federal Colony)/Bundeskolonien (Federal Colonies)

The German Federal Republic classifies itâ€™s mature colonial holdings as Federal Colonies, and is working at the process of allowing them to fully mature into the status as Federal States within the Federal Republic itself. The Federal Colonies located on the world of Nielungen in the Neubayern system has been the first to except this challenge, and is already in the process of becoming Federal States, a process that should be completed by 2308.

Hochtannen, Belle Terra (Alpha Centauri)
Head of Government: Herzog (Duke)/Herzogin (Duchess)
Federal Representative: Kolonialverwalter (Colonial Administrator)
Location: Core
Established: day-month-2176
Capitol: d
Population: 98,000
Type of Government: Representative Republic w/Constitutional Monarch
Notes: Like many nations the establishment of a colony on Belle Terra was the first interstellar colonial holding established by the Kingdom of Hannover, and the colony of Hochtannen was founded with the assistance of their British allies. Hochtannen is classified by the German Federal Republic as a Federal Colony with the many benefits that are associated with such status, but it is not so recognized by the Belle Terra Colonial Ruling Council since such recognition would require the allowance of a German Representative to be granted a seat on the governing council. Hochtannen is seen as a colony of staunch nationalists whom would love to become a full Federal State, but know that option is not politically viable at this time.

Notes: <> was the first colony that was established by Bavaria on Nibelungen. As time passed the Colony grew at such a rate that it became necessary for Bavaria to establish a second colony to deal with the massive economic growth that motivated the Free State of Bavaria to extend rights to establish a colony to the Kingdom of Hannover and later to the Electorate of Brandenburg.

Location: European Arm
Established: day-month-2241
Capitol: d
Population: 2,784,404
Type of Government: Representative Republic w/Appointed Governor
Notes: Halbinsel was at first a major endeavor taken by Hanoverian government and businesses that had suffered for years under the strict administration of appointed colonial governors whom attempted to curry favor with their superiors back on Earth by enforcing insane quotas. This policy changed after it came to the attention of the new government of the German Federal Government whom federalized the colony and brought its administration in-line with that of the other colonial holdings.

Notes: Despite the civil war that nearly destroyed the colony, Neumark has slowly started to recover and the federal representatives who have been assigned to the colony have worked hard to heal the division that was formed between the pro and anti-unificationist factions, as well as working with the French Colony in an attempt to bridge the gap between their two peoples to rebuild the rapport and cooperation that had existed only a decade before.

Type of Government: Representative Republic w/a Constitutional Monarch
Notes: The Free State of Bavaria assisted the Electorate of Brandenburg to establish itâ€™s first extra-solar colony on the world of Dunkelheim alongside itâ€™s penal colony of â€˜non-violentâ€™ offenders. The Elector of Brandenburg was ecstatic about the possibilities and threw the support of the Brandenburg space assets to seeing that the colony would not fail. The Elector appointed several of the noble families of the other east German states to oversee the construction of the colony of â€˜New Prussiaâ€™ that had included the Hohenzollern family who have since risen in prominence in the colonies political circles or power and have since become the constitutional monarchs who administer the colony with the aide of the locally elected officials.

Capitol: d
Population: d
Type of Government: Representative Republic w/Constitutional Monarch
Notes: The Kingdom of Hannover approached the Free State of Bavaria about establishing a colony on Dunkelheim during one of the periods of close Hanoverian and Bavarian cooperation. The French government worried about the founding of the colony since it appeared that the German states where cooperating to well, and French government agents started to work at causing dissension between the German states. If not for the discovery of this fact, the Franco-Bavarian alliance might not have suffered as badly as it did with the losses suffered by the Bavarians during the Central Asian War and the cooling relations between the ruling military junta and Munich.

Notes: The destruction of Kolonie Zwei by the Kaefer has caused a great deal of distress to the German national psyche, and the German Federal Republic has sworn to rebuild the colony. Rumors currently have stated that the new colony will be named Zweite Wahrscheinlichkeit (â€˜Second Chanceâ€™).

d, Heidelscheimat (Rho Eridani)
Head of Government: MinisterprÃ¤sident (Prime Minister)
Federal Representative: Kolonialverwalter (Colonial Administrator)
Location: Chinese Arm
Established: day-month-2228
Capitol: d
Population: 1,158,413
Type of Government: Representative Republic (currently functions as an Authoritarian Republic)
Notes: The Bavarian colony of <> located on the world of Heidelscheimat has been a major bone of contention for the German Federal Republic since it had been the destination for the former Bavarian Hardliners whom had established the so-called â€œBavarian Government-in-Exileâ€ in France in the aftermath of their failed coup attempt to stop Bavaria form joining with the other German states to form the new Federal Republic.
While the former Bavarian colony of <> on the planet Heidelscheimat does not officially recognize the legitimacy of the new German Federal Republic, the new Federal Government has dispatched representatives to lead the negotiations with the colony that would either end with the colony becoming part of the new Federal Republic, or recognizing that it would be going off on it's own as a new independent nation. These negotiations have been strained since the leaders of the failed â€˜Munich Putschâ€™ have since taken over the leadership positions in the colony. Among these is the former Deputy Prime Minister of the Free State of Bavaria who had attempted to assassinate the then-Bavarian Prime Minister after he had agreed to send Bavarian representatives to the Constitutional Convention to draft a viable frame work to build a unified German government after the passage of the referendum with 75% of the popular vote.
To further complicate matters, the new leaders of the colony have given support to the various 'Free German state' movements that have sprung up since German reunification. The most dangerous, and reckless has been the 'Free Bavaria' who has taken to bombing civilian targets and took responsibility for the sabotage of the Hochbaden defense systems in 2298, and later was directly responsible for the Kaefer Riots that caused so much damage to Hochbaden in the year prior to it's destruction by Keafer forces. It has been feared that the destruction of Hochbaden directly related to acts "Free Bavaria" sabotage.
The recent loss of the last of the great Bavarian battelcrusiers, the BSKMS von der Tann, has caused a lot of concern among the highest ranking members of the so-called Bavarian Government-in-Exile, since it was the only warship that had remained in the Bayernsche Sternkreigsmarine hands capable of carrying fighters. They are becoming more and more attuned to the fact their position has become increasingly unattainable, especially since their heavy handed tactics with the miners of Gerollblock has sent them into the 'Bundesrepublik' camp and request that the Deutsche Bundessternmarine deploy a squadron to protect their trade routes with the Core Worlds. This same kind of tactics has caused constant civil and social unrest amongst the colonists as well. Especially with the current regimes tight control of the colonies boarders and colonial interaction with outsiders. One such skirmish that occurred when a Texas Ranger assisted a family of colonial farmers form being forcefully evicted from their ranch near the colonies boarder with Texan colony. Over thirty Free Bavaria Army personnel where killed in the incident.
With the increasing hostilities towards the Texan colonists has caused severe tension between the Republic of Texas and the 'Bavarian Government-in-Exile.' This has possibly caused the Texans to rethink their earlier position to support the 'Free Bavarian' colony if the Federal Republic would invade. The Federal Ambassador to Texas has started to work out an agreement that would place the colony of Heidelscheimat under Texan jurisdiction until an unbiased referendum could be held to decide the colonies fate in case it does come down to military force being used to quell the 'Free Bavaria" terrorist attacks on German citizens.

d (Federal Protectorate)/d (Federal Protectorates)

The German Federal Republic classifies those settlements and young colonies as Federal Protectorates whereas the majority of interstellar nations refer to these settlements as â€˜outpostsâ€™. The current German classification primarily has to do with the fact that the German Government has started a policy for the future development of these settlements into full-fledged Federal Colonies.

Notes: Also known as Kuppelstadt, Geschlossener Stadt has recently been expanded to support the Deutsche Rote Kreuz disaster relief and refugee resettlement convoys that have left the Core for the devastated German settlements on the European Arm. Reports form Kuppelstadt indicate that even if it operates as only a tempary way-station for refugees it's own resources would be strained to the breaking point, and it's expansion is not expected anytime soon.

Type of Government: Representative Republic w/Constitutional Monarch
Notes: Siegfriedstadt was originally nothing more than a Hanoverian enclave on Beowulf that was established during the period before German Re-Unification when relations between the two allies was extremely good, but it has expanded due to the massive influx of German refugees form the colonies in the direct onslaught of the Kaefer wars. Agreements with the British government has allowed the Deutsche Rote Kreuz to set up a major refugee aide and resettlement outpost centered here. Speculation has begun that Germany will upgrade the status of the settlement to Outpost, and make an announcement that it is now an official German settlement with the full rights accorded by the Melbourne Accords.

Notes: With the recent agreements that have made with the Third Empire of France, the Germans have recently established a small outpost on Sans Souci to assist in disaster relief expeditions on the French Arm. At first the inhabitants of Sans Souci did not want to except the German presence, but after receiving assistance in their terra forming efforts the colonists grudgingly excepted the Germans. With the recent co-operation between Germans and French Colonists have started rumors that Germany will establish a permanent settlement on Sans Souci with not only French approval, but with some financial support as well.

The German settlement that was established on the Brunsylvannia Tiefebene has grown considerably in the past years with the influx of pro-unification colonists fleeing form the â€˜Freeâ€™ Bavarian colony on Heidelscheimat, thus Brunsylvannia is on the verge of being reclassified as an Outpost due to the rapid growth in both population and increased economic stability.

BundesabhÃ¤ngigkeit (Federal Dependency)/BundesabhÃ¤ngigkeiten (Federal Dependencies)

The German Federal Republic currently classifies those areas that are tied to directly to the German national infrastructure as a Federal Dependency, examples include military outposts, mining outposts or near orbital habitats.

Type of Government: Representative Republic w/Appointed Military Governor
Notes: "BundessternmarinestÃ¼tzpunkt 9" (Federal Star Navy Base 9) was originally nothing more than a Hannoversche KÃ¶nigliche Stern-Marine (Hanoverian Royal Star Navy) refueling outpost established during the Central Asian War whose existance was only known to the Germans and Manchurians who used it for a base to carry out commerce raiding missions on the European Arm, but BundessternmarinestÃ¼tzpunkt 9 has since experienced a rapid growth spurt with the influx of both military and civilian support personnel form the multinational fleets who have started military operations on the French Arm to counter-attack the Kaefers on their home soil.

Notes: Prior to the outbreak of the first KÃ¤fer war numerous plans where on the table to build several refueling outposts on the yet unnamed "Planet IIa" of the Wiseman System (DM+18 2776). All proposals where shelved with the outbreak of the war, but unfortunately the KÃ¤fer decided to establish a listening outpost on the planet. Shortly after it's discovery several select elite units of the British Royal Marine Corps and Deutsche Bundesstern-Marineinfantrie where sent in to ferret the KÃ¤fers out of their dug in positions. While the casualties where high the joint British and German forces finally liberated the world form KÃ¤fers and the Germans have since established listening and refueling posts using the KÃ¤fers own equipment against them where ever possible.

Notes: Fuchsschanze (the Foxâ€™s Lair) is primarily a Bundesheer base that caters to the needs of the Bundesheer personnel and their dependents who are assigned to assist in the liberation of Aurore form the KÃ¤fer. With the massive influx of German citizens and specialists to support the Bundesheer units on the planet it was decided that more permeant facilities where needed. To this end the Bundeswehr has established a complete military outpost with full supporting civilian facilities surrounding it with the assistance and blessings of the Free State of Tanstaafl. It's felt that by 2304 the population will grow to an excess of over 1,000,000 with the resettling of Hochbaden refugees getting relocated here.

Hansestadt Steinhafen, Gerollblock (DM-56 328)
Head of Government: Governor General (Regler-Allgemein or Regler-General)
Federal Representative: Kolonialverwalter (Colonial Administrator)
Location: Chinese Arm
Established: day-month-year
Capitol: Steinhafen
Population: 5,450
Type of Government: Representative Republic w/Appointed Governor
Notes: Unlike the troubles that have been experienced with Heidelscheimat, the miners of Hanestadt Steinhafen (Hanseatic City of Stone Haven) have welcomed the representatives of the Federal Republic with open arms. Especially after several "Free Bavarian" Cruisers had fired upon freighters that where registered to the major German corporations that owned major interests in the mines. The Miners Trade Union has since approached the German Federal Government and asked for assistance in the settling matter. This has been one of the reasons that two squadrons of Deutsche Bundessternmarine warships have been on a rotating deployment to the system for almost two years now. Several unofficial skirmishes have been reported between these squadrons and the 'Frei Bayerische Sternkreigsmarine' since the deployments have started, and the last of these skirmishes cost the 'Free Bavarians' the BSKMS von der Tann (their last functioning battlecrusier).
After the destruction of their mother ship, all but one of the six <d>-class fighters surrendered. The remaining fighter attempted to ram the primary orbital O'Neill colonial habitats to 'punish' the â€˜renegadeâ€™ miners and colonists for their 'treason' against the Free State of Bavaria. Luckily the fighter was destroyed before it could complete it's suicide run against the colonial habitat, it's pilot Oberleutenant zur Raum Helmunt Hess was remanded to the local legal authorities where he was tried for 'Crimes against Humanity' in his attempt to destroy the colonial facilities full of civilians. The remaining five fighter pilots and the nearly eighty survivors of the destroyed BKSMS von der Tann where detained at separate facilities on Gerollblock to await reparation back to Heidelscheimat in the near future.

Bundesgebiet (Federal Territory)/Bundesgebiete (Federal Territories)

The German Federal Republic classifies those areas that they have surveyed and prepared for future colonial development as Federal Territories, but they also classify â€˜enclavesâ€™ as a Federal Territory with special status since they exist inside the infrastructure of another powers colonial system. The Federal Government has begun working at a major program to provide these â€˜enclavesâ€™ with a limited about of capability of self-sufficiency incase relations with the â€˜parentâ€™ or â€˜hostâ€™ colony becomes strained.

Type of Government: Representative Republic w/Appointed Governor
Notes: Originally founded as a European Space Agency Research station, the Germans have since begun to expand their share of the facilities with plans to establish a major research outpost of their own on SchÃ¶nenwelt to be known as Frischer Anfang (Fresh Start). Until recent years, the German contribution to the ESA research outpost had been severely understaffed since German Re-Unification, and it's personnel were predominately AR-I sponsored and considered primarily as a civilian concern and not a governmental one to â€˜ease ruffled feathersâ€™ of the other ESA member delegations. But this has started to change as the new Federal Chancellor has taken a major interest in increasing governmental support for any scientific research that will hopefully improve the standards of living of Humans in space. Germany hopes that the SchÃ¶nenwelt Outpost will cement the bonds founded by the ESA and bridge the differences between it and other ESA members.

German Noble Titles:

The German states where not the only ones whom reinstated the ranks of nobility and aristocratic peerage in the aftermath of the Twilight Wars during what historians refer as the neo-Feudalism system that rose in the chaos of the Twilight on the world. But the German states did work hard to keep traditions that regulated their noble families towards public service strong and vibrant as ever. The vast majority of the German nobility could be classified as â€˜working noblesâ€™ since they all must serve the state in some manner that has prompted many of the Nobles to serve in either the German Military or within the governmental bureaucracy of their native states.

The German state of Brandenburg also introduced an odd tradition of the Elected Monarch (referred to as Elector or Electress) whom is elected form a wide variety of candidates whom where drawn form the best and brightest of the political, social and economic leaders (many of whom where indeed nobles, but not all). These Elected Monarchs where elevated to the same status as Kings or Queens and treated as such even after their term of service had expired by not only their native homeland, but in the neighboring German states as well whom found their system to be quant (but to quote many observers â€œwhat ever works, worksâ€).

Inspired by their close ties with the United Kingdom of the British Isles, the Kingdom of Hannover resurrected the tradition of the various Orders of German Knighthood in the mid-21st Century and this prompted many of the other German states to follow suit. The induction into the German Knighthood at first was limited to Military personnel whom had performed some kind of heroic action, but since their return membership has been opened to non-military personnel whom have performed a great service to the state. The only Order of Knighthood that broke this mold was notably the Bavarians whom had opened membership form the start to include non-Military personnel whom had performed great and noble services that had benefitted the Free State of Bavaria.

So did either of the two American attempts at making private fiefdoms that are mentioned in Going Home survive to become the nucleus of any of the German States in your version of 2300? (i.e. the one around the nuclear plant or at Fulda)
